Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Well, today has been a sad ol' lonesome day

Yeah, today has been a sad ol' lonesome day

I'm just sitting here thinking

With my mind a million miles away

[Verse 2]

Well, they're doing the double shuffle, throwing sand on the floor

They're doing the double shuffle, they're throwing sand on the floor

When I left my long-time darling

She was standing in the door

[Verse 3]

Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war

Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war

My sister, she ran off and got married

Never was heard of anymore

[Verse 4]

Samantha Brown lived in my house for about four or five months

Samantha Brown lived in my house for about four or five months

Don't know how it looked to other people

I never slept with her even once

[Verse 5]

Well, the road's washed out, weather not fit for man or beast

Yeah, the road's washed out, weather not fit for man or beast

Funny, how the things you have the hardest time parting with

Are the things you need the least

[Verse 6]

I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive

I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive

Setting my dial on the radio

I wish my mother was still alive

[Verse 7]

I seen your loverman coming, coming across the barren field

I see your loverman coming, coming 'cross the barren field

He not a gentleman at all, he rotten to the core

He's a coward and he steals

[Verse 8]

Well, my captain, he's decorated, he's well schooled and he's skilled

My captain, he's decorated, he's well schooled and he's skilled

He’s not sentimental—don’t bother him at all

How many of his pals have been killed

[Verse 9]

Last night the wind was whispering, I was trying to make out what it was

Last night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was

Yeah, I tell myself something's coming

But it never does

[Verse 10]

I'm gonna spare the defeated, I'm gonna speak to the crowd

I'm gonna spare the defeated, boys, I'm going to speak to the crowd

I'm gonna teach peace to the conquered

I'm gonna tame the proud

[Verse 11]

Well, the leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off of the shelf

Leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off the shelf

You're gonna need my help, sweetheart

You can't make love all by yourself
